Most CEOs have bought into the arthropgenic global warming fiction. Gore is laughing all the way to the bank. I think I'm going to be ill ....
Sounds impressive even if it is almost certainly false. But here's a bit of data to put SUV's in perspective, from the March National Geographic: The US burns more than one billion tons of coal to produce electricity, every year. The Gibson power plant in Indiana--one power plant--burns 300 railroad carloads of coal each day, during the summer--producing 50% more power than the Hoover Dam, enough juice for three million people.
Somehow, I don't get too upset about people driving a car that gets 20 instead of 25 mpg, or using a power mower to cut their grass. The massive scale of the energy industry makes these wacko campaigns look and sound like petulant child's play.
I agree. I'l never buy a Ford product. I like girls, and don't want to be associated with Frankie Fuitcake.
